What do you do when you get a box of crushed cigars?

[Habana Mike]

Received these in the mail a few months back. Very poorly packaged.

Any decent vendor should replace those immediately or credit you the damaged sticks. No questions asked. 

Shame to see Orgullosos bite the dust...

I did eventually receive a replacement. 

Question is what you'd do with this box?

Hey! I recognize those!  I would chime in, but I already know the answer.

Cigar glue? 

I saved this RAG cracked through the binder all the way down with it:

if it were me, I would simply salvage good sections of wrapper of the worst 2-3, and wrap over the large cracks with it and pectin glue.

Ignite.

I once used a strip of Glad Press and Seal to fix a HdM DC that had a big split in the wrapper right in the middle of the cigar. I smoked it up to the plastic and slowly moved it back as I smoked through the cracked part. Once I was most of the way through I took it off and it continued to smoke like a champ. I’m sure there was a better way but that worked for me.

If you have the right friends you can have them expertly rerolled with new wrappers!

And problem solved.

That box was intact for about 3 minutes then I offered everyone in the shop one. They were goners before that so now bonus sticks!

I did pick up a few more boxes so who knows, once auctions open to off-Oz stock....

That is Alex at Comodoro.

I can't imagine anyone better for the job.

[nKostyan]

Problem solved, but now it's a different wrapper, and different blend?

[unclepauly25]

What a shame! It doesn’t take much to ship cigars properly, at least they replaced them, they could have avoided that by doing it right the first time!

Smoked mine on mother’s day. Thanks again Mike. I don’t know if the flavors were altered because I haven’t smoke one before.
